Appeals and Pleas

TWO DAYS LATER-

Yvette found herself sitting in a small diner we discovered near the courthouse...

She was having a cup of coffee..

The Past Two Days..

Beverly and

Josie, who had done a great job researching predicates for this case , brought her young charges up to speed on them..

and then the six of them worked around the clock, looking up more and doing more research...

I gave Nelson a complete work up on the Judge who would be hearing the arguments, so that he knew how to help Olivia and Yvette structure their arguments...


Armed with this...Olivia and Yvette worked on strategy and formed a credible argument to present to a judge....

Jade, Gary and I went back to that detention center and snapped photos of it and it's conditions...anonymously of course and had our photos developed...

This was all to help Olivia and Yvette with the motion they were going to present to have the detention center closed up and to have the remaining detainee's transported to a more humane facility..

It was hard work, but it was worthwhile...All of us were devoted to doing something good..We all were dedicated and locked in...

I looked at Beverly, Nelson .Josie, Keith, Bee Bee, Sofia and Kahlil..

They were young, idealistic, totally into this...

Olivia and Yvette were at the age when they would just be becoming jaded...Yet here they were just as idealistic and engaged...They were viewing the world through the eyes of the young attorneys they were mentoring and it seemed as if it was giving them both a new lease on life...

Then there was hard boiled ex-Homicide Detectives like Myself, Gary and Jade...We had seen the evil that men (and women could do) we were jaded, but egged on by the enthusiasm and activism of the people around us...






II-

While Yvette sat in the diner, Attorney Boston Bishop walked in...

"Yvette can I buy you a cup of coffee?" he asked..

Yvette pointed to the cup she was already drinking..

and sipped some more..

"Oh" he said and sat down...

"I really don't think we should be sitting together."said Yvette..

"Forget this hearing..Look ,I want to talk about me and you..." he said..

"WHAT?" she asked...

"I've got 12 Attorneys, 3 Para-Legals and 3 Investigators who work for my firm...We make money hand over foot.. Move out here, come to work for me  and I'll make you a partner...I'll double whatever McClusky is paying you..." said Boston...

"Of course that means I'll be your girlfriend and start sleeping with you again right?" said Yvette..

"Nothing is Free baby!Heh heh heh" he laughed...and softly rubbed her legs....Thinking about the nights he spent making sweet love

to a young Yvette and how hard and how much she'd made him cum....often leaving him in a daze....
That was years ago....but he'd never forgotton or gotten over Yvette....

"Nice try.....but uhhhhh I think I like my life right now...Mentoring these young people..."said Yvette, who moved his hands..

"Let Olivia mentor them....She and her Niece have worked several cases with the four of them, The niece's husband has too.. They'll be fine.." said Boston..

"I don't think so...besides...I have a man...Where would he fit in?" asked Yvette..

"HE DOESN'T!!  He's a loser Vettie...This guy worked his way up from Detective to Lieutenant...Lieutenant of Internal Affairs and what does he do? He gets busted for sexual harassment of another detective...a detective in his unit...How stupid can you get???  The only reason he has a cushy job as Investigator for the D.A.'s Office is because he's been around so long and played the game so long that he has connections.." said Boston Bishop..

"Just like you...Your Father's connections to a West Coast Judge and several High Powered Attorneys out here who passed cases and work to your fledgling law firm until it grew into what it is today...Or your daddy's divorce lawyer friends who repped you after two failed marriages and a failed engagement....We all have connections. Do you think anything you told me is something I didn't already know?"said Yvette.

"Your boyfriend find that out about me or did your Asian Investigator find that out?" he snorted..

"Does it matter? You were checking me out and I checked you out.." said Yvette...

"My offer is only staying on the table for a short time!" he snarled..

"You can take it off...I'm not going anywhere.."said Yvette, who paid for her coffee and got up..

"Good Bye Boston." she said..

He stomped his foot in anger..

III-

The next few days in court were tense...

Olivia, Beverly, Nelson and Yvette argued passionately for

Quenterro's freedom....

They were giving Boston Bishop all he could handle...but he was proving to be just as tenacious in his arguments...Almost as if he had a need to best them, a personal need..They weren't taking it personal, but they were taking it to him in a way he had never had it taken to him before..
He knew of Olivia and Beverly's reputation, but Beverly's husband was a pit bull himself and Yvette was surprisingly just as astute...They were supremely prepared and because they were it frustrated him at times..

Meanwhile,

Meanwhile Bee Bee, Keith Jones, Sofia Garcia and Kahlil Ahmed with Josie Boyd were across town in yet another courtroom..

arguing for a bond release for Quenterro, citing that he is not a flight risk and that they would personally be responsible for him if he were released...

Despite their passionate argumenta...The fact that he fled ICE in Philadelphia and was captured in California was enough for a Judge to deny them...

They quickly appealed on the site...They had prepared for this and headed to an appeals court immediately....

The Judge there was impressed with their preparation as well as their passionate argumentq, but he refused them also....for the same reasons....

Quenterro's cross country flight was more of a hindrance than his dope smoking in the military and his possession conviction...In fact neither was ever brought up...

I walked into the courtroom with Gary and Jade...

Josie called me ,when they left Appeals court...She  informed us that Quenterro's bond release was denied by the Immigration Judge and by the Appeals court...

"Doesn't look good for the good guys does it?" I said..

Court let out....No decision had been made yet....

Olivia looked exhausted,,,

Beverly was literally speechless, a rarity for her...

Nelson shook his head.

"Things don't look good for the good guys." he said.

Only Yvette seemed hopeful...

"I think we made some excellent points and shot down his arguments with logic and legal facts...The Judge appreciated that...At any rate..We have a 48 hour continuance before a decision is made."she said.


Olivia, Beverly, Nelson and Yvette fielded questions to the press...about the precedings and their motion to close down the camp...which was denied earlier...

Boston Bishop, a well known defense attorney in the area who had yet to lose a case was reveling in the fact that he was tying Olivia and Beverly's tails or so it would seem..

He had been brought in by DHS /ICE to do just that, counter act Olivia and Beverly....and their team of young idealistic attorneys...

Quenterro Castille had now made national news.... A war veteran was being deported...The public was outraged...Now it wasn't just the ACLU protesting, but several Veterens Groups...Congressmen and other politicians on both sides were weighing in....This entire thing had become a cause celebre and now San Diego was the center of the National News.

Boston Bishop turned to Olivia, who he found just as attractive as Yvette and said..

"This is a win-win, both of our firms are getting free publicity.." he said.

"How about that?" laughed Olivia..

After the crowd began to disapate...Yvette walked over to us...

"I'm exhausted girl.....Gary and I are going back to the spot to take a nap.." she said..

"A Nap? We were going out on the town tonight...Oh....uh... a Nap? Uh Okay!  I'll talk to you tomorrow." said Olivia, giving Yvette a sly grin...

Gary put his arms around Yvette and the two of them left..

Olivia smiled..

"Yvette thinks she slick....Going to take a nap...They're going to do the Hibbity Bibbity.." she said to me..

"Not a bad idea..We uh could use a nap ourselves.." I said and smiled..

"You never get enough...You're wearing me out.." she laughed..

"Here come the others...."said Beverly...

"You guys look like you could use a cold one.." said Nelson..

 "How about a couple?" said Keith Jones..

 "What a day we had....We couldn't get him released on Bond.."said Bee Bee

" And our motion to completely close down that horrid center and transfer those people to a more humane center was denied.."said Sofia

"Today was just a total bust.."said Kahlil..

"Not really...We didn't expect him to get released on bond, but we had to try...and we never expected our motion to shut that place down to fly, but we got attention, national attention...Now people can't turn a blind eye to this.."said Beverly...

"Where is Ms. Yvette?" asked Josie..

"She went home to take a uh nap...Come on ,let's get on the bus..I'm hungry and thirsty and feel like doing a little shopping.." said Olivia..

We got on the Bus and drove into town...We were all anxious to do a little shopping, a little eating and drinking and dancing...

IV-

Back at our Air BnB…

 "I thought about you all day.."said Yvette Softly...

 "I thought about you too.." said Gary...

They kissed passionately.....she felt his penis.....It was rock hard!

"I see,,,ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu." she said, smiling and shaking her head....

Gary lifted Yvette up and entered her slowly and softly....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu yes Gary...Yesssssss.." she cooed..

Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....Ohhhh Gary, Oh My goodness..." she cooed softly..


"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yvette...Yvette...Oh My god!" he moaned...

"Ummmm Gary...lawddddd!" she sighed..

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Yvette...Yvette...Oh My god!" was all he could say..

"You like it daddy?" she said..

 "Ummmmmm hummmmmmm!" he said..

"Ouuuuuuuuu I like it too...ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.." she cooed softly into his ear!

"Yesssssssssssssssss baby.." he said softly....as they lay upon the bed and began to make sweet love..


"Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Gary.....Garrrrrrry.." she moaned, tears running down the side of her face...

 "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Yvettte....Ummmmmmmmmmmmm.." he moaned..

 She tried not to get emotional when they were making love, but she often couldn't help it..she felt so good, so loved that she couldn't help it...

That and the fact that she was having several orgasms was a whole nother thing..

SIX TO SEVEN HOURS DRIFTED BY .

After dinner and drinks, and a little shopping,  The rest of us hit the clubs..

 ''WOW.. This place is huge.." I said.

 "It's wonderful...I so needed to go dancing tonight..after the past few days..."said Olivia.

 "Me too Auntay….If not for this case and the work,.This would be a paid vacation..."said Beverly..

 "Yes indeed.." said Nelson...

" Isn't this great?" said Josie

 "It sure is.." said Keith Jones , who was dancing in between Josie and Bee Bee and enjoying every minute of it..

 ''Wow...I've got to come back to Cali...I'm loving this.."said Bee Bee..

 "Yeah me too!" said Kahlil...

 "Wow! We needed this after the past few days.."said Sofia..

"We'll all Sleep good tonight." said Jade..


We hit several more clubs and enjoyed the San Diego Night Life..

Sitting across the street from our Air BNB  in a car with tinted windows was a very angry Boston Bishop..

"The others are all out on the town....They didn't come back here to take a nap...Why..Why I'll bet they're both  in there having sex!!!" he exclaimed angrily....

"Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Gary....." moaned Yvette.. as the bed began to squeak.....

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...ohhhhh Vettie...Ummmmph."moaned Gary..



For once...Boston Bishop was absolutely right!
